QUIET

FRIDAY NIGHT "Where are you going dressed like that?" Oliver looked up and down at his sister, who had come into the kitchen to get a glass of water. The dress she was wearing barely covered anything, which was rare for her. She had always been a good girl who abided by the rules, and he would swear this was a dream if he had not been living out the entire day. She turned to him, and the extreme makeup on her face scared him a bit. "What?" she asked, looking at him as she blinked rapidly. "I asked where you were going," he jumped out of the chair he was sitting in while eating a boring bowl of plain oats. She had thought he would be snugly tucked in his bedroom, and that was the reason she was ready to leave the house. But maybe this was a good thing; he would see her going out, and she did not need to sneak out. "Oh, I am going clubbing," she said. His face showed horror because clubbing was not something she randomly did; in fact, he had never seen her talk about going out of

FLASHING BLUE

"Mr Carson?" Damien looked at the time and then looked down at his phone. Why would he be calling him at this time? Did they become that close? He slid his finger across his phone and put the phone to his ears. "Hello Damien," Oliver's voice rang with family across the line. Damien shifted in his chair, a bit uncomfortable, as he did not understand when they came to be able to be familiar with each other. He cleared his throat and turned his head to the side. "Hello, Mr. Carson." "Do you know what Lila is doing today?" Oliver asked.Damien did not like that he was so caught up with Lila and her family when all he had to do was get revenge. Seeing that Oliver was the one who was calling him, he knew that he had to act shocked. He shook his head to himself. "Seeing how quiet you are, it seems that you are unaware of what is going on; I thought you two got into some kind of relationship." Damien could sense that Oliver wanted him to care; he was supposed to act the part of a caring

FLASHING RED

"What are you doing here?" Lila asked, running her hand through her hair. Damien looked down at her exposed lap and how firmly the guy sitting beside her was gripping it. Damien raised his head, and their eyes met. The man recognized who he was, but he did not care; this was a club, and he was with this girl first. "What are you doing?" Damien asked, looking down at his hand and then tracing it upwards. "I do not think it is any of your business," the man said, causing a sharp sound to leave Damien's lip. He closed the gap between them, so he was staring at the man in his eyes. "It is to my business?" he asked and then let out a small annoyed laugh. He held his hand and pressed on the side. The man tried to act as if his grip was too tight for him to handle. "How can you touching my girlfriend so sexually not be my business?" Lila was getting drunk, but at least she could understand what was going on. She felt her heart flutter as if it were going to fly away, and she knew that th

SHALLOW ACCUSSATIONS

"What are you doing here?" Lila managed to let it out of her mouth at once. She smiled to herself as she was proud of her achievement. She raised her eyes to him and noticed how he dimmed his eyes. "I came here to..." He trailed off because he could not explain why he came here. He was promising himself that he had nothing to do with her, and yet he could not stop thinking of her. "Oliver called me," he choked out. "Oliver? Why?" she asked, barely able to keep herself up. He slid beside her and used part of his body to keep her up. "He told me that we needed to come get you because we thought you might be drunk." She did not know if it was because she was drunk or if he was the one stuttering, but his speech was all distorted in her head. "So why did you stop me from having fun?" she asked, pouting. Damien looked away because he couldn't deny that her dishevelled hair, beat-down makeup, and pout made her look cuter than he remembered. The alcohol she had drunk had given her cheeks

DISCOMFORT

"Oh, my head hurts," Arietta groaned as she moved in bed. She felt her throat tighten and knew she needed a glass of water to quench her thirst. She stirred in bed and tried her best to get into a sitting position. She sat still with her eyes closed as she wondered why she drank so much when she knew how stupid she was when she drank and how much she could hold her liquor. Memories from her drinking escapes flooded her mind, but she was not able to put them together. She knew she just had to give herself a little time, and everything would flow to her naturally. Her eyes flared gently, but when she looked around, she could not recognize the room she was in. No room in her house had the secrets she was looking at. "Where am I?" she asked herself, looking down at the thick black blanket that had covered her. She took it off and checked her clothes to ensure it was okay. She looked at the nightstand and was grateful that there was water there. She poured a glass for herself and wiped i

SILENCE

Oliver bit the corner of his lips; he did not know what to say in response. He could not tell her that he had come to stop her from hooking up with any other man because even though he had let her go physically, he was still very much connected with her emotionally and was not ready to let go yet. "Why did you come?" she asked again. She wanted to hear what he had to say. She wished he would say something that would make her doubt his feelings."I was worried," he said. "About me? Were you worried about me?""I did not think nice girls like you and Lila should be in a place like that," he replied."What is wrong with a place like that? I do not see anything wrong with a club," she replied, blinking rapidly. He opened his mouth to speak, but she raised her hand to stop him before he could say anything. "You should never have come. We broke up, and I am not your problem anymore, so I do not think that you should be doing things like that even if you are worried about me." "It is just

UNEASE

"Do you have any idea how we made it home yesterday?" Lila asked, dropping to the bed and checking out what Oliver had brought for her. "Woah, toast, apple slices, honeywater, and tea?" Lila asked, surprised at the treat before her. "That is a lot." "He makes this for you but forces me to eat plain boring oats." Lila took up a slice of toast and bit from it. "He must have it for you." "Stop saying that; you are giving me hope," Arietta murmured silently. She opened the flask containing the honey water and poured it into the empty glass. She drank from it and was grateful for the taste of it as it lulled through her system. "It is good to have hope; no one ever died from having hope," Lila murmured as she savoured the taste of the well-done toast. "Since you are sticking to honey water, I am going to stick to drinking the coffee." Lila knew that if she wanted to get a good breakfast, she must have done it herself. "Thank you," she followed up, allowing the smell of the freshly bre

DREAD

Lila looked down at her phone DAMIEN CALLOWAY stared at her from the screen. "What do I say to him?" Lila murmured, looking down at her screen. She raised her head and shook her head. She was not sure what she had done to him yet, so what was she going to say? "Hey Damien, it is I who have a terrible drinking habit of blacking out when I drink, and I decided to go to a club and then drink and embarrass myself in front of you." She groaned and stood up. Arietta told her to act as if she did not remember anything. She had begged her to stay while she made a call, but Arietta said she wanted to go home and get ready for the dinner she was having with her brother. She could not say no since she was the biggest shipper. "Ah!" she shrieked and threw the phone out of her hand on the bed when it began ringing, the sound filling the room. She bent down to look at the screen, and Damien was calling. "Damien?" she murmured. She took a deep breath and sat on the bed, taking up the phone. She t

CLOSURE

"We have been driving for a while now. Where are we going?" Lila lifted her head and looked around them. Damien was at the house a few minutes before six, and she was ready to go. She did not want to make it seem like a big deal, so she did not call him back to ask where he was taking her. She just threw on a pair of jeans and a button-down shirt with her hair up in a bun. "I was going to take you to fine dining, but you are not dressed the part, so I am thinking of taking you somewhere else." "Well, I did not know your plans, so I wore what was fitting enough for me." "You should have asked me to know what to wear." "I don't want to make it a big deal," she said in a small voice, looking out the window. She was very glad that she could look out the window instead of at him. "So where are we going now?" she asked. "Someplace," he said with a shrug as he merged into the traffic. "Someplace? Does someplace have a name?" She asked, tilting her head a bit so she could see his entire

NEAR

"Welcome to my home; I have only one rule." "One rule?" Lila asked as she walked into the house. She looked around and wondered why the house reminded her of their house. Oliver and Damien seemed to have the same idea of home decoration. "What is it?" she asked, pushing down the thoughts of asking him why his house looked so bleak back to his mind. "You are limited to downstairs," he said. Amber's pictures littered everywhere upstairs, and he did not want to know if Lila could remember her face, but he did not want to take any pictures. "This is the best thing you have said tonight," she exclaimed, clapping her hand and smiling. He was glad that she understood and was okay with his terms. "Shall we go to the kitchen?" he asked, pointing her in the direction of where she should go. She held onto the bag in front of her legs, kicking it in as she moved in the direction he had shown."So what are you going to make?" she asked, sitting on one of the kitchen stools. "Are you going to
